Awash on the tides of city rain I flow through the streets and into the drains Numbed by the gaze of uncaring faces Try to offer my truth – but they drift away Until the streets and myself have no name No longer human – no longer the same Lost all hope – lose all dreams – no more pain
Awake – I choke on human steam And the stench of animal fear Tonight I’m going to light a match And let the sewer burn – until my soul is clear
Each night a thousand hearts are wasted On those who don’t care if they live or die Each day I wade through vacant stares and wonder Are they looking for the same things as I
I see the people turn away And still hear every word they say Hope someday I’ll have the nerve To put a bullet through my brain And not a needle in my vein
